Induction of pancreatic beta cells by stem cell differentiation with RNA

摘要

A novel method of inducing or producing pancreatic beta cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells at an unprecedented efficiency and functionality. The core of the invention is the use of experimentally discovered mRNAs at multiple critical differentiation decision points along a pluripotent to mesendoderm to endoderm to pancreatic endocrine cells to pancreatic beta cells pathway in a previously unknown manner.
